Invited talk on ‘Vortex Enhanced Computational Imaging’
A technical talk on “Vortex Enhanced Computational Imaging” was held on 06 February 2026 at 3:15 PM in C-109 (D1), Interdisciplinary Block, Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology. The session was delivered by Kedar Khare, Professor and Head of the Optics and Photonics Centre at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Modern Optics. During the talk, he explained how optical vortex phase can enhance coherent and incoherent imaging, highlighting solutions to Fourier phase retrieval challenges and methods for achieving high-contrast imaging. He also briefly discussed emerging deep-learning approaches for vortex phase diversity. The session offered valuable insights into modern computational imaging and was well appreciated by the participants.
Kedar Khare is a Professor and Head of the Optics and Photonics Centre, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and additionally serves as the Editor-in-Chief for Journal of Modern Optics. Prof. Khare completed his Integrated MSc in Physics from IIT Kharagpur with highest honors and a PhD in Optics from The Institute of Optics, University of Rochester, USA. Prior to joining IIT Delhi as a faculty member in 2011, he worked for over five years as a Lead Engineer at General Electric Global Research, USA, where he contributed to inverse problems relevant to CT and MRI systems. At IIT Delhi, Prof. Khare has made several contributions to the area of computational imaging (optics, coherent X-ray, cryo-electron microscopy and MRI) and structured light in random media.
